“Roger is an excellent colleague and a well-experienced market researcher. I have worked with him both as a colleague at GfK V2 and as a vendor to a company he was consulting for -- in both settings I valued Roger for his insights into research and his willingness to show his appreciation for others' work. I would be happy to work with Roger again under any circumstances and would recommend him highly to others.”
